1) So far with our short film we have completed the sequence, opening titles and colour correction. We are in the process of going through the different effects and deciding what works best for our cutaways as we want something that distinguishes between the main scene and the cutaways.
Originally for ‘I Hate Boys’ we had planned that the main protagonist would be walking through the park and talking to the camera. However on the day of filming we only had a short amount of time until it got dark so had to be prepared and use our time wisely. We couldn’t get the microphone to work and as it was a long distance tracking shot and there were only two of us-one controlling the camera and one controlling the boom microphone there wouldn’t have been anyone to look after the rest of our equipment. As our time was limited we decided to film the tracking shot without the monologue and use a voiceover for the film instead. In our planning we had also chosen to use a layered shot so at the end the protagonist would walk over to her dead body and explained via the monologue that her boyfriend killed her. Although we filmed the layered shots, when it came to editing it worked better without the layered shot and was just as effective.
As most of the short film is completed the final things to do are: choosing an urban genre music bed for the end shot where the ex-boyfriend runs away; either grainy, de-saturated or vignette effects for the cutaways and editing the opening titles so we can use them for the end credits.
